The plan, being pushed by the African Union, would include an immediate ceasefire and the deployment of a United Nations “peacekeeping” force to assure that neither side returned to hostilities. It also would have Gadhafi staying out of the transition talks.

At the same time, it pledged that AU member nations would not execute the ICC arrest warrant against Gadhafi and did not take any position of his long-term future, leaving it apparently up to the transition talks to sort out. Rebels said this was unacceptable, though the regime was reportedly willing to accept the terms.

It is not simply a matter of terms for many rebels, however, as they are promising yet another massive offensive, backed by NATO air strikes and using French-supplied weapons, aimed at adding to their territorial positions. Though they seem quite hopeful about the effort, it is worth noting that every major offensive of the past several months has failed to move the de facto borders between Gadhafian Libya and East Libya in any meaningful way.

The US and others invol;ved show they enjoy the killings of civilians the lie of why they got involved.No one that knows whats going on belived the killers involved were there to save lives infact they have proven by this and other illegal wars thats the last thing thet care about.They care about money they are evil greedy warmongers.Gadafi is the one in the right although he has done thing wrong but from what I know he done more good than wrong.Bin Laden was smart the US is falling into the trap he set by bleeding them dry and destroying there econamy.He new they could not beat the American military so they got them to come fight were they would never win and the American government fell into his trap.He outsmarted them and destroyed the country not that the government with a few exeptions care.Americans need a new government by protesting in large numbers and voting congress and all warmongers out of office.

bin Laden did nothing. Investigate 9-11 and see which domestic based terrorists assisted the real enemy. The proof is not on TV. At all. Cut the cord and join the real world. The CFR is loyal to the destruction of the U.S. One indication of this is the fa ct thaty university lectures never get national airtime and the SCOTUS passed a decision (AT the CFR's sponsorship) that news networks over any media are NOT legally obligated to tell the truth, considering fraud and deceit as part of normal day-to-day activity and not any breach of contract. This group blew out the GOM oilwell at Maconda prospect as well, and seems to have graduated to HAARP weather augmentation across the U.S.. And they built Fukushima on the beach in the center of the most active tsunami zone on earth, and left a select group of Japanese people to run it.

SEARCH 'Dimona dozen v. Fukushima 50' and don't be shy.

the NATO no-fly zone scam in Libya. Now the British are "urging" these two Arab paragons of democracy to train that motley crew – the eastern Libya "rebels", so they can annex and hold to a few grains of desert sand before some kind of ceasefire is negotiated.beginning to respect the Taliban. It takes guts to fight it out against the most evil Empire the world has ever seen, and keep fighting, on and on, until it's only a matter of time until they win. Not even the Evil Empire can stay in Afghanistan forever.

On April 10, the African Union team met with Qaddafi. The team was a month late. On March 10, at an AU meeting in Addis Ababa, a panel had been assembled to travel to Tripoli by March 20 and engage Qaddafi to draw back his troops. French attacks on Libyan air defenses (March 19) on the heels of the UN resolution 1973 (March 17) impeded the envoys. The UN declined to allow them to proceed, despite assurances from both Tripoli and Benghazi that they would entertain the mediation. It is a remarkable – although unsurprising — example of the UN stopping a peace envoy and preferring bombardment.

Recent history features traitors and rats as the norm because the CFR covers the world with their TV rat droppings and says it smells like lilacs. To a culture with a religious text proscribing criminal behavior over all others, this is fine. To 99.9% of humanity who knows where these criminals plan to hide, this is NOT O.K., and a behavior change is advisable. And a shedding of this reptilian skin and a total withdrawal from the criminal life is mandated.
